Software Development with Open Source: Securing Applications and IP

Open source software is embraced by developers, enterprises, and governments at every level, and with it comes many strong opinions and few facts. How much open source is really being used in the applications you buy? Does the "many eyes" theory make open source more secure? Does traditional security testing address vulnerabilities in open source?

With organizations becoming more agile but facing increasing regulatory governance, understanding how open source software development works, and how to secure open source, is increasingly important. In this session we’ll cover:
- Code contribution and IP management
- Fork management
- Release process
- Security response processes
- Realities of IP risk and open source
- Pass through security risk and responsibility
- Keeping up with scope of impact changes within a single disclosure
- Automating awareness of security risk from development through integration and delivery to deployment

Gain insights into important legal developments from two of the leading open source legal experts, Mark Radcliffe, Partner at DLA Piper and General Counsel for the Open Source Initiative and Tony Decicco, Shareholder, at GTC Law Group & Affiliates.

This annual review will highlight the most significant legal developments related to open source software in 2018, including:

Black Duck by Synopsys constantly strives to improve our offerings and reporting capabilities. We’ve expanded the range of our audit offerings, and by the first of the year, we’ll be rolling out a new set of reports and a new process for sharing them. Join us for a preview of the new reports and process. Black Duck On-Demand’s Phil Odence and Emmanuel Tournier will demonstrate how we have combined customers’ ideas with the best elements of our reporting to develop new reporting technology and processes designed to make reviewing audit results easier, more insightful, and more productive.

The headline of Wall Street Journal article from March read “Due Diligence on Cybersecurity Becomes Bigger Factor in M&A.” In April, Gartner reported, “Cybersecurity is Critical to the M&A Due Diligence Process.” Companies that invest in open source license compliance as part of diligence are starting to dive more deeply into security issues.

A first step in assigning the security of software assets is looking at known vulnerabilities in open source components. But, now as part of the Synopsys Software Integrity Group, Black Duck can bring much broader capabilities to bear to analyze the overall security of code assets, including proprietary code.

This webinar will discuss application security issues at a high level and the security services that you can include with a due diligence audit.

In April, Synopsys and GitHub spoke about adding “Sec” to DevOps by using solutions that don’t sacrifice speed or agility. Most of the discussion focused on software composition analysis for applications. But DevOps organizations are increasingly adopting container technologies. Do our solutions have what it takes to properly secure the code found in every layer of a container image?

The answer is yes. With GitHub and Synopsys solutions, you can ensure the code in your containers is secure—from the code you write, to the open source you depend on, and to the operating system components that come with the container. In this live webinar, experts from Synopsys and GitHub will demonstrate solutions that can help keep your container contents secure. Some highlights:

In early October, we released the latest version of the BSIMM report, BSIMM9. While many things about the report haven’t changed much, it’s the new things that make it really exciting. Mike Ware will give a quick recap of the BSIMM and how organizations can use it before diving into the changes observed in BSIMM9, including these:
- The incorporation of three new cloud-related activities and what that says about AppSec
- The addition of retail as a stand-alone vertical
- The growth in the number of security and developer resources

When you’re operating in a cloud environment, access expands, responsibilities change, control shifts, and the speed of provisioning resources and applications increases—significantly affecting all aspects of IT security. Security must keep up with these demands without compromising on auditability, least privilege, and secure development practices while receiving the benefits of automation. In cloud environments, security must be built in with configuration management and infrastructure as code. This talk aims to piece all of it together while providing practical guidance (and examples) that will help your organization operate safely in this age of cloud computing.

Topics will include:
- Building security in with infrastructure as code
- Pipeline-friendly OS hardening
- Vulnerability scanning considerations for building cloud applications
- Migrating to the cloud with rapid deployments in mind

Automation in the cloud can help you build faster and deliver continuously, but it can also make managing security a challenge. By integrating Black Duck by Synopsys with the development tools you use in Amazon Web Services, you can scan images in your container registry, automate build scans in your CI pipeline, and stay notified of any security vulnerabilities or policy violations found in your open source code.

Join experts from Synopsys and AWS as we explore how to build applications and containers safely in the cloud without sacrificing agility, visibility, or control. In this hands-on webinar, we’ll demonstrate how to:

- Get started with Black Duck and AWS
- Build better solutions through open source intelligence
- Use open source management automation and integration with AWS

Once you get a handle on what open source your organization has in house and you're through remediating any issues that came up during your code scan, then what? How do you ensure you avoid surprises the next time around and fully leverage your investment?

Join this webinar with top open source legal experts Mark Radcliffe (partner at DLA Piper and General Counsel for the Open Source Initiative) and Tony Decicco (shareholder, GTC Law Group & Affiliates) as they discuss effective policies for managing and releasing open source in your company:

- What are key aspects of an effective open source / third-party software policy for both inbound use and outbound contributions?
- What are key success factors for effectively releasing code as open source?
- How does this play out in transaction due diligence and integration following an acquisition?

Static application security testing (SAST) is the process of examining source code for security defects. SAST is one of many checks in an application security assurance program designed to identify and mitigate security vulnerabilities early in the DevOps process. Integrating SAST tools into DevOps processes is critical to building a sustainable program. And automating these tools is also an important part of adoption, as it drives efficiency, consistency, and early detection.

But DevOps practitioners looking to integrate SAST tools into the DevOps pipeline often have questions:

- How do I manage false positives?
- How do I triage the results?
- What happens to new issues identified?
- How can I use a tool in my DevOps pipeline?

If you have questions like these, and you’re concerned about integrating SAST tooling into your DevOps process, this session will offer actionable advice to automate security testing that supports DevOps velocity.

IAST, or Interactive Application Security Testing, is an emerging technology that is transforming the way organizations secure their web apps at the speed of DevOps. IAST automatically and continuously scans apps during QA testing to detect security vulnerabilities earlier in the SDLC than traditional DAST or pen testing solutions—when it’s easier, faster, and cheaper to fix them. Using a combination of static and dynamic testing techniques, IAST produces highly accurate and actionable results that can be interpreted directly by the developers responsible for fixing the code.

Join guest speaker and Forrester Principal Analyst, Amy DeMartine and Ofer Maor, Director of Solutions Management at Synopsys, as they unpack the promise of IAST from the perspective of an analyst and a technology provider. Learn about the unique benefits and use cases for IAST, as well as the technology’s limitations and which types of organizations stand to gain the most from it.

Modern applications are constructed using open source components. Most organizations understand they’re using open source. What they likely underestimate is its prevalence in their homegrown applications and the potential security and license compliance risks they assume if they’re not continuously monitoring those libraries. When companies merge or are acquired, that unknown risk is transferred, potentially to organizations with greater regulatory exposure. Join Daniel Kennedy, Research Director, Information Security, and Phil Odence, GM, Black Duck On-Demand, for a discussion of these risks and how to address them.

The security industry has made great strides developing tools and technology to integrate software security into the application development life cycle. However, it’s important not to ignore the people and process aspects of DevSecOps. Building security into application teams’ culture is necessary for DevSecOps to be successful.

Outside the software security group, Security Champions are the leaders of this cultural change. Embedding knowledgeable champions within development teams to assist with security activities and vulnerability remediation will help your organization see this cultural shift. As a result, you’ll build new features not only faster but also more securely. In this webinar, you’ll learn the foundations of a successful Security Champions program and the challenges you’ll face implementing such a program.

Organisations increasingly rely on open source software from their supply chain partners and outsourcers to power the products and technology they deliver to the marketplace.
Whether you’re an automotive company or a medical device manufacturer, use of open source software accelerates development schedules, and reduces costs, but how do you minimise security risks?

One way some DevOps organisations are facing this challenge is by deploying their applications in containers.

In this webinar, Tim Mackey explores this new era of large scale container deployments and how to manage and secure them.

Our webinar will arm you with the information to:
•Explain the importance of open source security to your organisation
•Why container environments present new application security challenges
•Best practices and methodologies for deploying secure containers with trust

With all the different application security testing tools available, you may be wondering whether interactive application security testing (IAST) makes sense for you. If you want to equip your developers with everything they need to fix vulnerabilities quickly and accurately in CI/CD workflows, then the answer is yes.

In this webinar, Asma Zubair, Sr. Product Manager for Seeker, our IAST solution and Tamir Shavro, Sr. Engineering Manager at Synopsys, will show you how to gain unparalleled visibility into the security posture of your web applications and how to identify vulnerability trends against compliance standards (e.g., OWASP Top 10, PCI DSS, and CWE/SANS). You’ll also learn how IAST can:

If you’re a developer, there will come a time when you realize that you have the power not only to ship awesome features but also to protect them so that no one else can tamper with all your hard work. Every developer is responsible for coding securely, but a brave few among us will take this duty one step further by wearing the mantle of a Security Champion.

This webinar is your guide to becoming the Security Champion you always wanted to be, in just five easy steps. We’ll also talk about what benefits you’ll get out of it, besides saving the world, and what to do if your company doesn’t have a Security Champions program or even a product security program.

Almost every major company uses or builds software containing open-source components today—96% of them, according to a report from Black Duck by Synopsis. The same report revealed that 78% of the apps that were audited had at least one vulnerability, including several that were reported nearly six years ago! Needless to say, not having solid open-source use policies and procedures in place for your developers poses a significant risk to any enterprise.

Black Duck and Pivotal collaborated to deliver a secure and simple user experience for rapidly building and deploying applications so that developers can benefit from the many advantages of using open source in their apps with confidence.
